A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 234 Research is Never-Ending

He didn't finish his sentence; as Zhou Tong had said, the chances were slim.

"Alright, since that's the case, you can go out first. I'll continue my research on Hanzhang and Mingyun's blood here."

Zhou Tong originally wanted to rest for a while, but now that Jiang Yichen was here, she couldn't just lie next to him forever.

As for the cabin, forget it; I'm not that familiar with him anyway.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to take out the blood samples she had previously drawn and begin to study them.

She was still unsure of the cause of the red light emitted when Jiang Mingyun lay down in the cabin, so she quickly focused her energy on the research.

When Jiang Yichen woke up, he saw Zhou Tong engrossed in her research, and his heart suddenly stirred.

He was poisoned by the snake-entwined vine and the strange immortal's poison. If it weren't for the needle Zhou Tong gave him later, he would have remained energetic until night.

He wasn't some clueless naive boy. His family had arranged for him to have a concubine. Although nothing happened, even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run.

He recalled that when he had just had that incident with Zhou Tong, he was indeed like a clueless young boy who needed Zhou Tong's guidance in everything.

Men seem to have a natural advantage in this matter. Zhou Tong only guided for a while at the beginning, but afterwards he maintained the upper hand.

Zhou Tong's voice still echoed in his mind, leaving him utterly dejected.

At that moment, some afternoon sunlight shone through the window and fell on Zhou Tong's face.

Her naturally fair complexion now appeared strangely beautiful under the afternoon sun, giving her ordinary face an indescribable allure.

Zhou Tong usually wears loose cotton and linen clothes, which completely conceal her perfect figure and soft skin.

Jiang Yichen recalled the feel of the tofu in his hand, which was even smoother and softer than tofu. Thinking about it made him feel hot again.

He himself didn't realize how tender his gaze was when he looked at Zhou Tong.

He slowly walked up behind Zhou Tong, and for reasons unknown, he reached out and hugged her from behind.

This startled Zhou Tong. "Oh my god, you scared me to death!"

Zhou Tong, who was disturbed, didn't give him a friendly look. To her, it was just a normal friendly exchange and didn't mean anything.

She removed Jiang Yichen's hand from her body and said formally, "Now that you're awake, you should go back. I'm at a crucial point in my research and can't be disturbed."

She pointed to the door and said, "Open the door yourself and go out. I don't have time to see you off."

After saying this, he returned to his research.

She was beaming with excitement, feeling like she was finally getting the hang of it.

Jiang Yichen was puzzled by Zhou Tong's attitude at this moment, as it was not the reaction a normal woman should have.

She was so enthusiastic just now, and now she's so cold.

He figured it was probably because Zhou Tong was busy, and he himself had some things to take care of. Seeing Zhou Tong engrossed in her own affairs, he left her with the words, "Don't worry, I'll come to propose marriage as soon as possible."

Zhou Tong didn't hear what he said at all, and thought he was leaving and saying goodbye, so she said, "I won't see you off."

Jiang Yichen couldn't help but chuckle, as this was the first time he had met someone like this.

When he went out, he saw Xiao Ba sitting leisurely in a recliner drinking tea. He became more wary of Xiao Ba, who was always by Zhou Tong's side, and also felt a little jealous.

Although they publicly stated that Zhou Tong was Xiao Ba's boss, their relationship did not resemble that of an ordinary boss and servant.

But it doesn't matter. Now that he and Zhou Tong have a relationship, he can't let Zhou Tong fall into someone else's hands and become someone else's wife.

He needs to finish what he's doing as soon as possible before going to propose marriage.

As a responsible person, I cannot allow myself to do something and then drag others down with me.

Seeing Xiao Ba's leisurely demeanor, he felt a lump in his throat. The two of them clearly had an extraordinary bond, and he should inform his elders as soon as possible that he wanted to propose marriage to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Mingyun brought the strange fairy over, hoping to see if Zhou Tong had any results from his research.

At this moment, Xiao Ba had already closed the shop door and was preparing to pack some food for Zhou Tong before going to the Zhou residence to find Zhou Hanzhang.

Seeing the two people who had arrived, he was somewhat surprised. "I was just thinking of getting some food for the boss when you two showed up."

Zhou Hanzhang placed Yi Xian in Xiao Ba's arms. "Don't pack it up, let's go eat together. How's Zhou Tong doing? Still doing research?"

"Yes, I haven't come out of the lab since this afternoon."

"Wait here for me, I'll go take a look."

Zhou Hanzhang quickly arrived outside Zhou Tong's laboratory and gently knocked on the door. "Zhou Tong?"

Zhou Tong then came to her senses and opened the door. "It's already dark. Why are you here at this hour?"

The laboratory can sense light and automatically adjust the brightness when the light is insufficient, so she didn't realize it was already evening.

She didn't expect that it would get dark so quickly.

"When we met you at the Jiang residence before, we were planning to ask Madam Jiang for this potted plant. Madam Jiang was talking to my mother at the time, so she kept us there for the afternoon."

I figured it was around dinnertime, so I thought I'd check on your research to see if it had made any progress. But then I remembered that keeping the rare immortal elsewhere might not be safe, so I brought it over.

"Once my senior brother from Medicine King Valley returns, I'll bring the extraordinary immortal to him and see if he can maximize its benefits."

"Oh, you're taking it away too?"

When Zhou Tong heard that the strange immortal was only temporarily placed here and would be taken away later, she immediately became unhappy.

Zhou Hanzhang looked at her bitter face and laughed, "You want it?"

"Yes, who wouldn't want something so precious? I know my relationship with you isn't as good as your relationship with your senior brother, and the item is yours anyway, so you can give it to whomever you want. But could you leave me a small piece..."

Zhou Tong was almost in tears.

It's so frustrating to find something so good but not be able to use it.

Zhou Hanzhang laughed and said, "I've left it here all this time so you can study it at your leisure, haven't I?"

"what?"

Zhou Tong was a little embarrassed. "I thought you were just temporarily stopping me from touching it."

"How could that be? Alright, Xiao Ba just said she'd get you some food to go. Come and eat with us."

Zhou Tong naturally wanted to go, but she hesitated when she thought about the research she was doing.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Hanzhang pulled her up and said, "Let's go, the research is never-ending."

Before Zhou Tong could speak, Zhou Hanzhang dragged her out.

When they arrived at Zuixianlou, the waiter greeted them warmly, "Young master, you've arrived? Please come with me."

Just as they were about to walk into the private room, they unexpectedly ran into Jiang Yichen again.
